    Reccomend a good Elvis concert DVD for me

    Can anyone reccomend a good concert DVD to buy?

    I'd rather one that includes 50's footage but I'm not too picky.

    How about this one. Good luck.................

    Elvis : The Great Performances is a revealing two-volume (2 DVD) that follows Elvis' career from his first televised appearance that shocked America and had everyone talking about his hip-shaking performance, to a sold-out concert a few weeks before his death on August 16, 1977. With over 2-hours of re-mastered footage, new packaging, and never-before-seen interviews, Elvis: The Great Performances 2 DVD set offers a glimpse into the world of one of America’s most beloved icons.
    A true must-have for Elvis buffs, rock aficionados and music-lovers alike, the collection covers a span of more than 20 years and unleashes 'Elvis-mania' to fans who are able to re-live the excitement and to those experiencing it for the first time.

    The Interviews

    Also included are previously-unreleased interviews, conducted by producer-director Andrew Solt in the early and mid-'90s, with rock icons Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, Sun Records head Sam Phillips, drummer D.J. Fontana, guitarist Scotty Moore, Jordanaires member and backing singer Gordon Stoker, and television host Milton Berle, on whose show Elvis appeared twice in 1956. Footage mined from TV shows and specials, films and home movies provide a revealing look into Elvis’ private life as well as the realities of his unprecedented fame.

    Elvis: The Great Performances allows fans to revisit the life and music of one of the most important pop-culture figures in entertainment history. Like never-before, experience Elvis’ mystique and legacy with this ultimate collection of performances by the King.

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    Good choice, or try the 68 TV special or That's the Way It Is.
    Then don't forget Aloha, Elvis on Tour and even Elvis in Concert (77) if you can find it

    If you don't have "That's The Way It Is", I recommend that one. One of his best!

    you can get the shows that Elvis did on the Ed Sullivan shows, Elvis the Ed Sullivan Show is the title, footage of live ocnerts from the 50's is rare. Elvis on Tour is pretty good and it won the 1973 Golden Globe award for Best Documentary film. Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese was the montage supervisor for the film.
    I never looked for trouble but I never ran.
